The LAST THING anyone should do is add finasteride to a protocol. Google finasteride and post-finasteride syndrome.
 
DHT is not an evil part of this, is super critical for everything that makes a male, a male, and should never be suppressed. Hairloss and is typically genetic, it's NOT caused by DHT.
 
Very interesting, thanks guys, one last question, has anyone found that taking testosterone does effectively cause hair loss through excess DHT production, or does most guys on Testosterone keep their hair
 
its like playing russian rulette man you never know if you will be another victim of post finasteride syndrome.. man i would rather be bald then have pfs

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
